The Dark Side.

I personally think that after we defeat Morganthe we should be able to choose if we want to be on Merle's side or Morganthe's side. That would be a really cool thing to do because for those people out there that are tired of fighting for good. Maybe we could choose to be on the bad side at the beginning of the game like after you take the test it says... Would you like to be on The Light Side or The Dark Side.

But if we defeat Morganthe, how will we be on her side? That's kinda what you said.

To do this idea would in effect require making an entire new game. They'd have to write a whole second storyline of quests for every world. Also, how could you possibly have wizards on both sides being successful in every world? One side has to lose.

Like it but the choice can't be in the beginning of the game it would have to be before you deal the last resort to Morganthe. And yea it would kinda take a lot of requirements and I don't think Ki is big enough to make to main storylines at the same time. Again I like the idea just its a little bit hard to make it.

Well what if marganthe has a twin sister twice as evil as she is then she would take over the dark side just like malistare we still havent defeated him yet so it would be them plus the dark side wizards i mean the new shadow spells they should of made it as new wizards of the shadows to me i like that because having a dark side of wizards would be crazy but much fun.

Well maybe sometime the dark side people have a quest where they then come back to the light side cause the evil person is a jerk and keeps bossing them around and the wizards are all like what man, leave me alone and then they decide that evil is well evil and wizards aren't meant to be evil and they join the light side <3

well if we defeated her shes gonna play mind games like telling us her past and stuff to feel sorry for her....then shes gonna say "join me wizard..be the new prince of darkness or stuff like that..feel free to reply ^^

Just because we defeat Morganthe doesn't mean that she is dead.... she might rise by using a shadow spell. My theory is that she will use such powerful magic at the end that if we don't defeat her and she dies completely, i think that she will die because of use of powerful shadow magic and the backlash will destroy her once and for all. Or here is another theory...

Another possibility i am thinking is once we defeat Morganthe, (dont forget about the new ally feature). The Celestial choir wont stop singing and morganthe will join us to defeat the celestial choir because she is the only one who knows how to stop them due to her using her own magic to re-construct the ancient Aztecasaurs.

Dont forget i beleive that we may be seing some old friends in the Shadow palace. Tse-Tse Snake Tail from Zafaria , Yacate Farwalker From Azteca, Big Salgio from celestia, and some others that may be with us or against us like Belloq.

Yeah i think we should have the choice to be on the evil side or the good side because the spell we get are getting old and if we go on the bad side we could get new spells and start fresh with a whole new story and cooler worlds we have to go on and the evil and good side can have a great battle like dueling but with out having ranks and maybe like world if war craft we get to start with a level 50 or any level so we don't have to start off as a noob and then you can fight you're friends and show off the new shadow spells. I hope you do this morganth side and good side so we could have a better experince. nicholas level 82

In other games aimed at different audiences, this choice of dark side or light side can be interesting. There are a lot of games out there that do give that option.

But I don't really think it fits the aim and the genre of game that Wizard101 is. This is light, family friendly gaming that begins with really young kids. This kind of game is actually intended to support a generally positive gaming experience, one that parents are happy to let their kids participate in, and might even want to join their kids in. Though it fails in some areas (mean chat, beggars, etc.), that is more due to the choices of some of the players in the game than it is due to the game design. But most parents don't really want to teach their kids that it is OK and fun to go to the dark side.

So for this game, Wizard101, I disagree with the OP. I don't think the choice to go dark is really appropriate for this particular genre and audience.
